The Defendant's Repulsive Appear ance A Scene Caused bj the Mother of the Murdered Girl .at Sight of the Defendant i 1 Sensational and Revolt- :lng Evidence In tense Excitement i of the People. j Messenger Bureau, ; Raleigh, July 19. ; J George Mills, who is charged with the murder and attempted outrage of his niece,! Miss lana Wimberly, and rwho was recently sent to Goldsboro for safe keeping, was brought back here yester day afternoon for trial. He had a pre liminiary hearing thi$ morning at 11 o'clock before Justice Roberts. P Before the appointed hour for the trial a large crowd had completely filled the ! court room to hear the trial. The father, ' mother, sister and two brothers of the murdered girl came in just before "the time for the trial and took' their seats in the bar of the court house with a' great number of other witnesses. MUisr two brothers and a brother-in-law were also present. " , ' . j Public interest, which is intense, reached its climax when Mills j was brought in. His confinement has told on him terribly. He is very thin and his urishayed.j idiotic face gives him a terri ble appearance. He seeme1 entirely un moved and without an emotion. As soon as neiappearea in tne oar othe court house! tne mother of Miss Wimberly began; to jscream and cry out at the top of her voiced "Oh, Lord God, here is the man wno muraerea my cmia. -sue told me so on her death Ded. Uh, people, have mercy- on me, I can't stand it." She continued to cry out in the same strain) Andl at the top of her voice - even after she had been removed from the court ! room. The general impression seemed to be that this was done for effect. - .. " - j . Five . witnesses were, introduced by each side, among them the f atherj, brother, mother and sister of the mur dered girl and Drs. A. T. Gotten and J. L, Moore, who were the girl s attendant phy-1 ans. The evidence was sensational. anavjeciaeaiy iavoraDie to miua. MrTS Wimberly, father of the girl, was the first witness introduced, and testified that on the evening of the tragedy she had been at work and left home after supper with George Mills, and he did not see either of them till about 1 or 2 o'clock at night when Mills came and told him somebody had killed lana. He said that M1II3 claimed that when lana went to the house and put her hjead in at the door, som0 one struck hear, and he, Mills, was warned to leave 01 he would be killed. Mr. Wimberly said he then sent for assistance, and when they went there between daybreak and sun-up they found her, terribly beaten and bloody, but not dead.; The girl was inimediately taken home. He saw no tracks- in the house. except those of Mills .and the . girl. He recognized. Mills' tracks i by the tacks driven in the heel, by Mills himself, in repairing the shoes The girl had been beaten with a rock which had blood and hair on it: On cross examination he said the girl was 17 vears old and that Mills was his wife's brother. 'Mills lived ajout four miles from him; and had been spending the greater portion of hl time at his (Wim berly's) house and was treated as a mem her rr t.hpi tamilv. Mills, he said, was partially blind and theounty has; been contriouung 10 111s support on vue grounu that he was almost blindL The children were all fond of Mills arid had been ac customed: to eo about with him.! He, Wimberly, had been told by Mills that Tana was enciente and he went to Ut. Robinson,1 in Chatham county, to get medicine for her to take. Dr Robinson refused to give the ! medicine He said that he then told Pr. f liobinson that he had rather see her dead than to have bis family disgraced. He said that Mills went out the front door when he left and lana went out by the back door, TTe saw blood on Mills clotties and he Wimberly1, told his younger aaugncer to wash it off.

He. saw five dinerent tracks, one was barefooted and one had on shoes. jThere were five tracks in all, both coming to and going from the house and all around about. One of the barefooted tracks he believed fc be a negro's track. One of the shoe tfacks was made by, a shoe now oiiMiU's foot, which the witness ex amined, j Mills did not go with them to the scene of the tragedy. - , Late in the evening he examined Mill's clothing and found blood on it in ! three places.

He did not think she ever re gained consciousness. Hedescribed the wounds ana iractures in her skull from which she died. He thought the blows, were given by some one from behind. He said he made tne post mortem exam ination and found the girl enciente. . Since these facts were brought out it is generally; believed that while; Mills killed the girl, it was planned and caused by members of her own family. '. It is thought by some of the neighbors that either her father or brother is fatherof the ehiid. It is understood that there is much evidence of very sensation charac ter which will not be brought out till final trial on Sentembet24th.

Stocks and. Bonds in New; York Grain and Provision Markets of Chicago. , New York, July If. The announce ment of the engagement of $1,000,000 additional gold for shipment to Paris shortly after the opening of business this morning had a tendency to weaken the general stock market. - The gold ship ments net the exporters a small profit and is the result of an increased inquiry for the metal for Austrian account, the scarcity of bills here and a decline in Sterling at Berlin and ' Paris. The rail way list was also unfavorably affected by the light traffic, receipts for the first half of July and the month ot May. The Union Pacific statement for the last named month was particularly ufif avor able, the net loss being nearly $600,000. The Northern Pacific for the first four teen days of - July reported its receipts- at ; only $34,000, ; a decrease of 1763,000 as compared with Ru-1 mors of damage to the growing corn and the further decline in wheat also oper ated against an advance in stock ; prices. Notwithstanding the unfavorable factors enumerated, the decline inhe prominent railway issues was only i to 1 per cent. and was most pronounced in the cases of St. Paul and Louisville and Nashville. Business was light and at times trading in the railways almost at a stand still. American Sugar, however, was again active, and figured for 62,300 shares in a grand total of 134,449 shares. The stock declined 1 per cent, to 101, rose to 103, returned to 103 and closed at 102f, against 102 last night. Washington advices were read with greater interest. The determined stand taken by Chair man Wilson, of the Ways and Means committee, was not to the likemg of the i bulls on . the property The settlement of the sugar sched ule will be anxiously awaited by the Street, as 1 there have been sOme heavy buying on the theory thatjthe House would concur m the Senate amendments to the original WilsOn bill. The opinion in usually well informed circles is that there will be a moderate duty on sugar and that in return the Senate will have to agree to free coal and iron. Chicago Gas, Distillers and Cord age were all firmer. Chicago Gas gained i, Cordage I and Distillers 11 per cent, on the day. The last named sold up to 20f on covering of 'shorts. The close was irregular, the railway being rather weak and the .Industrials firm. Net changes show losses of i to 1 per cent, except for the Industrials and Western Union, which gained to li per cent. ; In the inactive stocks Minneapolis and.. St. Louis, preferred, fell 2 per cent, to 16 and Wheeliug and Lake Lre f to os. Rail way and miscellaneous bonds were irregular, but in the main firm. Sales of listed stocks aggregated 64,000 shares: unlisted 66,000. Chicago, July 18. Irom every part of the pit the selling of wheat seemed to come to-day. Lach day seems to further deplete the ranks of the bulls and cor respondingly increase the numbers of those on the other side ot tne market. The only reason given why there should be any recoverv to prices is this very ac cession to the bear crowd and the senti mental excuse that prices are so very low. There was a rally near the close of the session to-day, but the final figures disclosed a net loss of fc from: yester day's close.' September wheat i Opened fiom 00 to oofc, declined to ooc, ad vanced to 55c, closing at that price, with the losses above noted.

The range on Sep tember was between 43c and 41$c and the close 42fc. Cash corn was in good demand. Prices were 1 to lie lower, Gats did little else than follow the direction of wheat and corn. ' The rains were naturally of benefit and may have1 influenced some selling, but decunes and rallies were identical with those in the other grains. There was nothing taken from store. September opened from 27f c to 27c, declined to 27c advanced to and closed at 27fc, g under yester day. Cash oats were dull and lower. Provisions The shorts, in endeavoring to cover ?oiiie early sales, caused a rally in TM-rxWf i'oiiraf-W before the close. Until that time tradewas inherent and prices were weak. The weak grain mar" ket and a decline in prices of live hogs lent a spirit of easiness to the, jnarket.

The following is President Cleveland's letter to Repre sentative Wilson, upon the tariff situa tion, which Mr. Wilson read as a part of his remarks in the House this afternoon "Executive Mansion, Washington; July 2, 1894, n (Personal.) " . -. . ; j "Hon. Wm. L. Wilson: j I "My Dear. Sir: The certainty that a conference will be ordered between the two Houses of Congress, for the purpose of adjusting differences on he subject of tariff legislation, makes it also certain that you will be again called on to do hard service in the cause of tariff reform. "My public life has been so closely re lated to the subject, I have so longed for its accomplishment, and 1 have so often promised its realiza tion to my " fellow countrymen as a result of their trust and confidence in the Democratic party, that I hope no excuse is necessary for my earnest ap peal to you that in this crises you stren uously insist upon party honesty and good faith and a sturdy adherence to Democratic principles. I believe these absolutely necessary conditions to : the continuation of Democratic existence. "I cannot rid myself of the feeling that this conference will present the best, if not the only hope of true Democracy. Indications point to its action as the re liance of those who desire , the genuine fruition of Democratic effort, the fulfil ment-, nf IAiTinrra tic rtHvloraa anH tliA rp. demption of Democratic promises to the people. 10 reconcile ditterences in the details comprised within the fixed and well defined lines of principle will not be the sole task of the conference, but, as it seems to me, its members will also have irl charge the question whether Demo cratic principles themselves are to be saved or abandoned. -- "There is no excuse for mistaking or apprehending the feeling or temper of the" rank and file; of the Democracy. They are downcast under, the "assertion that their party fails m ability to manage the Government, and they are apprehen sive that efforts to bring about tariff re form may fail; but they are much; more downcast and apprehensive in their fear that Democratic principles may- be sur rendered. In these circumstances they v cannot do otherwise than look with confidence to you and to those who with you have patriotically and sincerely championed the cause .of tariff reform within Demo cratic lines and guided by Democratic principles. This confidence is vastly augmented by the action under your leadership of the House of Representa tives upon the bill now pending, i "Every true Democrat, and every sin cere tariff reformer knows that this bill, in its present form and as it will be sub- mittea to tne conference, raus iar snort of the consummation for which we have long labored, for which we have suffered defeat without discouragement, which, in its anticipation, gave us a rallying cry in our day of triumph, and which, in its promise of its accomplishment, is so in terwoven with Democratic pledges and Democratic success, that our abandon ment of the cause or the principles upon which it rests, means party perfidy- and party dishonor. ' "One topic will be submitted to the conference which embodies 'Democratic principles so directly that it cannot be compromised. We have in our platforms and in every way possible declared in favor of the free importation of raw materials. .We have again and again promised that this should be accorded to our people and our manufacturers as soon as the Democratic party was in vested with the power to determine the tariff policy of the country. The party now has that power. We are as certain to-day as we have ever been of the great benefit that would accrue to the country from the inauguration of this policy, and nothing has occurred to release us from our obligation to secure this advantage, ft our people. It must be admitted that no tariff measure can ac cord with Deriiocratio principles and promises, or bear a genuine Democratic badge, that does not provide for free raw material. Under these circumstances it may well excite our wonder that Demo crats are willing to depart from this, the most Democratic ot an tarin: principles, and that the inconsistent absurdity of &uch a proposeddeparture should be em phasized by the suggtion that the wool of the farmer be put on the free list, and the protection of tariff taxation be placed around the iron ore ana coai 01 corpora tions and capitalists. How can we face the people alter indulging n such out-, rageous discriminations and, violations of principle? "It is quite apparent'that this question of free raw material doess not admit of adjustment on any middle ground, since their subjection to any rate of j tariff taxation, great or small, isalike violative of Democratic principles and Democratic good faith. - "I hope that you will not consider it instrusive if.1 say something in relation to another subject which can hardly fail to be troublesome to the conference.- I refer to the adjustment of tariff taxation on 6ugar. Under our party platform and in accordance with our declared party purposes, sugar is a legitimate and logical article of revenue, taxation, tin fortunately, howeyer, incidents have accompanied certain stages of -Che legis lation which will be submitted to the conference, that have aroused, in con nection with this : subject, a natural Democratic animosity to the methods nd manipulations of trusts and combi nations. I confess . to sharing ; in this fjeling; and yet it seems to me we 'ought, if possible, to - suffi ciently, free ourselves from - preju dice to enable us coolly to weigh the considerations which, in formulating tariff legislation, ought to guide our treatment of sugar as a taxable article. While no tenderness should be enter tained for trusts,, and while; I am decidedly opposed to granting them, under the guise of r tariff taxation, any opportunity to further their peculiar metnodsp 4- euggesTi ,inat we ougni nos vo be driven away from the Democratic . . -W- A A t A. 1 I. . A principles and policy which lead to the taxation of sugar, by the fear, quite likely exaggerated, that in ; carrying out this principle and policy we may in directly and inordinately, encourge a combination of sugar refining interests, I know that in present conditions this is a delicate subject and I appreciate the depth and strength of the feeling which its treatment has aroused. I do not be lieve we should do evil that good may come, but it seems to me that we should not forget that our aim is the completion ; of a Tariff bill, and that in taxing sugar tor proper purposes ana witnin reason able bounds, whatever else may be said of our action, we are in no danger of running counter to Democratic prin ciples. - With all there is at stake, there must be in the treatment- of this article some ground upon which we are all will ing to stand, where toleration and con ciliation may be allowed to solve the problem, without demanding the entire surrender of fixed and conscientious con victions. Y k I "I ought not to prolong this letter, s If what I have written is unwelcome I beg you to believe in my good intentions. -I "In the conclusions pf the conference touching the numerous items which will be considered, the people are not afraid that their interests will be neglected. They know that the general result so far as these are concerned will be to place home necessaries and comforts ; easier within their reach, and then insure better and surer compensation to those who toil. ; . I "We all know that a tariff, covering all the varied interest and conditions of a country as vast as ours, must of neces sity be largely the result of honorable ad justment and honorable compromise. I expect very few of us can say when our measure is perfected that all its features are entirely as we would prefer. You know how much I deprecate d the incor poration into the proposed bill of the in? come tax feature. In matters of this kind, however, which do not violate a fixed and recognized Democratic doctrine, we are willing to defer to the judgment of a majority of our Democratic brethren. I think there is a general agreement that this is party duty. This is more palpably apparent when we realize that the busi ness of our country timidly stands and watches for the result of our efforts to perfect tariff legislation; that a quick and certain return of prosperity waits upon a wise adjustment and that a con fiding people still trust in our hands their prosperity and well being. J The Democracy of the land pleads most earnestly for the speedy completion of the tariff legislation which their Repre sentatives have undertaken; but they' demand not less earnestly that no stress of necessity shall tempt those they trust to the abandonment of Democratic prin ciples. .Yours very truly, Signed) Grover Cleveland." 1 LATEST FROltff THE STRIKE. Men in the Stock Yards Refuse to '. Strike Returning to Work at j Sacramento Pullman shops to Open Strikers At- tack Workmen, i Chicago, July j 19. The American Railway union order, warning all rail road men at the : stock yards to desist from work, seemed to have little effect on the men to whom it was addressed this morning. Railroad employes re turned to their work as usual; switching was continuedand the packers seemed inclined to treat the matter as a joke. -; The stock yards company will endeavor to solve the problem of securing protec tion for its men outside of working hours by lodging and boarding them in its buildings. Cots were placed in some of the houses this morning. Sacramento, CaL, July 19. Early this morning over 400 men reported for work in the shops and many of the old employes were given their former posi tions. Every department, save the roll ing mills apd foundery, is in operation, with a sufficient force to handle all busi ness for the present; No work is to be done in the rolling mills and foundery, and for this reason they remain inoper ative. 1 The men hied into tne yards, pro tected by a strong military escort. There were committees from the strikers' ranks hanging upon the outskirts of the sentry lines and endeavoring to persuade the workmen from returning to work, but their pleas were in yain. It is generally conceded that the strike so far as it ob tains here, it over and that the railroad company has won. ; Superintendent Small, of the motive power and machinery department, says he has applications for reinstatement from hundreds of men and that by to morrow he will have 600 men. at work. Three switching crews went to work this morning and trains are made up without difficulty, j '; Chicago, July 10. The Pullman shops at Pullman, Ills., iwill probably reopen next week. Vice President iWickes stated this morning that he had received 325 applications from workmen desiring to return to work and that he anticipated no trouble in securing a sufficient num- ber of operatives to work all the depart ments. Three hundred men are engaged in oiling the machinery, cleaning the shops and doing other preliminary work. While 100 of these men, who are Hol landers, living at Roseland, Vere on their way to Pullman this morning, they were stoppedta short distance west of Pullman by strikers or their sympathizers and an all-round fight ensued, which terminated in the new men' agreeing to go home. After nearly reaching ioseland, how ever, the Hollanders separated into groups of two or three and by different routes returned to Pullman and went to work. Most of the Hollanders are iron founders, but all were pressed into the service of cleaning up. - ;. p Senator Hill on the Presdent's tetter. .6 Washington. July .19.
